Book description
'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he
has dreams. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.
Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is
Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright
and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey
landscape. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie
instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins.
This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies
logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to
breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But
their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight...
Isaac Marion was born in north-western Washington in 1981 and has

jobs like delivering deathbeds to hospice patients and supervising
parental visits for foster-kids. He is not married, has no children, and
did not go to college or win any prizes.
